English: This painting was inspired by a project done by Soulpancake (www.soulpancake.com). On their Youtube Channel they do have – among others – a playlist called Art Attack, where various artists create pieces for a specific topic and dare the watcher to do the same. So I do have a list of 22 themes and “Lies” was the tenth one to tackle. Of course, lies are absolutely frowned upon in society, but as we know from history, they are invaluable for a communal life and building a society. What can happen, when you tell a lie, is depicted in this painting. The decision of whether you lie in a given situation or not, is probably one of the most difficult decision you have to make in daily life. It took me 1.75 hours to complete this piece.
